A brewery in the town of Kaisei in Ashigara, Kanagawa Prefecture, which effectively went out of business in 1980 when it could no longer brew its own sake, was revived in 2018. The brewery has been revived in 2018. I have already written about their Setoichi before, but for the price, I gave it 3 stars.
The first sip of the bottle.
Mmm? It's delicious. It's got a solid flavor that is typical of Omachi. I also like that it's a little toromy. The depth of flavor increases. The acidity is more like that of a white wine, and it has a luxurious feel.
This is what they wrote about Ajisai yeast on their website.
The yeast is not very strong against alcohol, so in order to control the dissolution of the yeast, we soaked the steamed rice for a few hours before brewing. This is a method used for daigin, such as 40% polished rice, and it is a method that makes breweries cry because there is so much lees and not much sake is produced.
It seems to be difficult to make sake without a lot of effort and ingenuity.
It's a small brewery that can't mass-produce, and the label and website look like they cost a lot of money, so it might be a good idea to consider this price of over 1800 yen as a support price.
